I was actually in Montreal this weekend. A friend of mine lives there. He is born and raised French Canadian and hates it. This seems to be the ultimate consensus of everyone he knows as well except for the people on this board. I am not sure about people outside of the Quebec Province who are not forced to do everything in French, but from speak with all of his friends and family there. It seems to be getting a little out of control. People can speak about America all they want and about making laws to better your country. Thats all fine and dandy, but my friend just opened up a convenience store, I believe they are called 'Dep's'. The Government gets to decide if the name he wants for his store is ok or not, because it does seem to be french enough for them. You are not as forced into the French culture in France, as much as you are in Quebec. (this is what my friend who lives there is saying). This seems a little overboard for me. I must say though. The food in Montreal is excellent. It is a beautiful city. I wish to go back in the summertime as it snowed basically everyday this weekend.
Oh yea, and what the fuck is it with splitting checks? I dont get that.
